Pralines

Easy and delicious!

1 box brown sugar
3 cups broken pecan meats
1/2 stick butter or margarine
1/3 cup water
1 tsp vanilla extract

Combine the first 4 ingredients in a heavy saucepan. Cook to 240 degrees or soft ball stage. Remove from heat; add vanilla and stir until mixture begins to lose its gloss. Drop small portions onto waxed paper. Work fast, keeping the sauce pan over a warm surface while dropping the pralines. Do not allow the praline mix to cool before dropping is complete or it will set in the pan.
